Sunny Skies: User Guide

Welcome to Sunny Skies, your personal engine for simulating fantastical weather! This guide will show you how to create stunning, high-fidelity visuals of weather events that exist only in your imagination.

How to Create Your First Simulation (In 5 Steps)

Creating a simulation is easy. Just follow these steps:

Step 1: Dream Up an Anomaly

This is the fun part! In the Fantastical Anomaly box, describe the weird, wild, or wonderful weather you want to see. The more descriptive you are, the better the result.

  • Need an idea? Click the ✨ (Suggest) button, and the AI will invent a creative starting point for you.
  • Want to brainstorm? Click the 💬 (Assistant) button to open a chat with an AI creative partner who can help you refine your ideas into the perfect prompt.

Step 2: Pick a Location

In the Location box, type in any real-world place. As you type, suggestions will appear. Select one.

This is where the magic begins. When you choose a location, Sunny Skies does two things instantly:

  1. Fetches Live Weather: It pulls in the current, real-world weather conditions for that exact spot.
  2. Generates a "Live View": Our WeatherNext engine generates a real-time satellite photograph of your location. You'll see this image appear, giving you a sneak peek of the environment.

Step 3: (Optional) Add Advanced Data

For the true weather enthusiast! Click the toggle switch next to Advanced Data Layers to reveal a set of professional-grade data feeds. By flipping these switches, you can tell the AI to make its simulation even more realistic by including:

  • Live satellite imagery for cloud patterns.
  • Detailed terrain maps so the anomaly interacts with mountains and valleys correctly.
  • Real-time oceanographic data for coastal simulations.
  • And much more!

Step 4: Choose Your Style

How do you want to see your simulation?

  • Images: A beautiful, cinematic, ground-level view of the event.
  • Satellite: A top-down, tactical view, like you're seeing it from space.

Step 5: Simulate!

Hit the Simulate Anomaly button and watch it go! The engine will now process all your inputs to create a unique, high-fidelity image of your fantastical weather event, perfectly grounded in the location you chose.


The Engine Behind the Magic

Sunny Skies is more than just a random image generator. It uses a powerful, multi-step process to make your simulations feel plausible and deeply connected to their environment.

1. Context is Everything: The "WeatherNext" Live View

When you pick a location, we don't just use the name. Our WeatherNext data engine generates a fresh satellite image of that location. This image becomes a crucial visual reference for the AI.

2. The AI Becomes an Artist and a Scientist

Instead of just mashing your text and location together, our simulation engine does something smarter:

  • It Analyzes the View: The AI first looks at the "Live View" satellite image. It studies the terrain, the layout of the city, the real cloud formations, and the geography.
  • It Re-imagines the Prompt: Based on its visual analysis, the AI writes a new, much more detailed prompt for itself. For example, if you ask for a "Glass Hailstorm" over Denver, the AI sees the Rocky Mountains in the satellite view and might rewrite the prompt to be: "A dramatic storm releases glittering shards of glass hail that shatter against the rugged peaks of the Rocky Mountains just west of Denver's city skyline."
  • It Creates the Final Image: The AI uses this new, enriched prompt to generate the final simulation. This is why the final image looks so uniquely tailored to its location—because it is!

This context-aware process ensures that every simulation is a one-of-a-kind piece of art, blending your imagination with real-world detail.

Enjoy exploring the skies!
